usually the school you reant off will be able to sort it for you.
Stay away from the JAR schools is my advice. They all have there quota of shanagins and they have to get there 3 week ppl's through so getting an aircraft can be a pain.
Tailwheels in Winterhaven might be worth a try. Winterhaven is pretty central so you can get virtually anywhere. You can also do tail wheel and if you fancy a shot of a float Jackbrowns is just next door.
Personally if I had to do it all again I wouldnt go to florida. Alaska is on my list of places to go I don;t know how viable that would be.
